Unfortunately this is not a simple problem. We’re currently using a
ShaderEffectSource item to capture the contents of a webview and display
a paused thumbnail. This works well while the webview is live and has
been shown at least once. But when the app is restored after being
killed, only the current webview has been shown, all the other webviews
are hidden, so there is no capture available.
QML doesn’t expose any built-in way of persisting the contents of an
item as an image on disk, which is what would be needed to restore tab
previews.
Also note that we’re currently not persisting favicons on disk either,
they are being re-downloaded everytime, this is bug #1340585.
